The term Management Dashboard defines a wide range of data reporting and visualization tools or dashboards that allow using various performance & efficiency measures to report on an enterprise’s ability to organize and coordinate its activities in accordance with certain policies and in achievement of pre-determined objectives.

If to give the general definition, task group is a team of people joined temporarily or permanently to accomplish some task or take part in some project (collective action). Of course, task group as well as any other association of people needs to be structured and managed appropriately, so there should be certain oles which define responsibilities of each team member taking part in activities. There is particular theory that tells about stages (forming, storming, norming and performing) that each group should pass before to reach efficiency, and about different types of workgroups according to their purposes and the ways of organization, examples of types – problem-solving teams, self-managed teams, cross-functional teams, and virtual teams, along with formal and informal work groups depending on their status in organization.

There is the same aspect fair for all these kinds of workgroups – disregarding to task group roles , what are task groups' purposes and targets, how many people are engaged – it should be managed though effective task groups approaches and methods, allowing to reach the state of highest productivity through overcoming common issues that can be faced on different stages of development. To facilitate the way up to efficiency for your task-group , you can use special task management software which streamlines many managerial functions, for example enables you to set, assign and control tasks, allocate responsibilities and communicate them to employees, so they can easily get into their roles and understand their workloads .

The proper examples of task management software are MS Outlook and VIP Task Manager . Both these products have proven quality and usability, but MS Outlook is rather individual software, and to manage folders in Outlook you need entering collaborative multi-person mode that can be established only through additional software like Microsoft Exchange bringing you new payments and need to configure your system additionally, whereas VIP Task Manager is ready-to-go product which was designed exactly for real-time collaboration of multiple users. It works like Sharepoint , helping you to avoidcosts relatedto setting up Outlook solution, so let's consider capabilities of this tool little bit closer.
